Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2025.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective from January 2019).
Public Benefit
The trustees have considered and have had due regard to the Charity Commission�s guidance on public benefit. Our main activities and those who benefit from our service are described below.
Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership (HWCP) is an organisation led by the community, representing and working on behalf of a community on the southern edge of Bristol. HWCP was established in 1998 to lead the regeneration of an area in South Bristol, which is among the 10% of most deprived wards in England. It is an isolated area of Bristol, known for its limited engagement with the rest of the city, as well as with its political and economic life. We work with a wide range of partners, from residents to local and national organisations, to help tackle some of the inter-generational health and poverty-related issues that exist in the area.
Our Vision
For all people in the communities we serve to have an equal chance to lead successful, healthy and happy lives.
Our Mission
HWCP is a community-led organisation that creates a sustainable and supportive local environment for people to feel empowered, realise their potential, and create positive change.
Our Values
-
Our values underpin everything we do and influence how we work with and for the community. Connecting People: Bringing individuals together in various ways and settings so they feel connected and part of the community;
-
Supporting Collaboration: Working with those who can pool resources and provide support in the area; and
Community Focused: Prioritising community input to guide our work.
Our Place-Based Community Development Work
We are here to make Hartcliffe, Withywood, and surrounding areas places that work for everyone. We help ensure the community can make decisions on local issues, start activities, develop projects, and promote local partnership work.
We do this by:
-
Creating pathways for people to engage in activities and opportunities that can improve their physical and mental health and wellbeing;
-
Providing opportunities for community members to share their thoughts, opinions, and priorities; and
-
Offering experiences and opportunities for young people to raise their aspirations and influence what matters to them.

Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 March 2025
- During this period, we aimed to address the following challenges: Social isolation; Apathy and disillusionment; and Lack of opportunities.
Connecting People
We aim to serve as a connector within the community, bringing people and organisations together to address or ease some of the challenges mentioned above.
In January 2024, two teenage boys from our neighbouring community (Knowle West BS4) were tragically killed, impacting both communities.
In response, we have collaborated with the Knowle West Health Park and Knowle West Alliance to help reduce the risk of escalation and to support the trauma experienced across both the BS13 and BS4 postcodes. As part of this effort, we have disseminated information through our community magazines (The Wham & The Knowledge), social media platforms, and websites.
As a leading BS13 organisation, we have created a platform to listen to our community by hosting and facilitating meetings, coffee mornings, and organising drop-in sessions with the Police to help close the gap in local people�s views and opinions, while addressing issues arising from the incident.
Throughout the year, we have partnered with over 50 organisations , expanding opportunities for local people to access services and activities. This has helped break down barriers between different parts of the community and the services available to them.
Supporting Safe Spaces
We aim to support and provide a safe community space for people to seek support, make friends, grow skills and confidence, and take ownership of local solutions, by:
-
Facilitating activities;
-
Providing opportunities for people to volunteer; Providing opportunities for people to start new activities; and Signposting people to support and services.
All our staff across the organisation can signpost and refer people who come into the building asking for our help. During the year, we received 1,554 enquiries , and we were able to provide the needed information and/or referrals to support activities or services within the community.
Symes Community Room
The Symes community room is a free-to-use space within our Resource Centre, for groups, organisations and community members. We have provided free space to over 20 community organisations , held a total of 197 advice and support drop-in sessions , and 391 community members accessed these sessions.

Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 March 2025
Organisations we have worked with:
Watkins Solicitors South Bristol Advice Service Hawkspring Shelter Bristol Libraries NHS Talking Therapies Caring in Bristol Next Link Bristol City Council CHAS Bristol Family Hubs SENDAS
Long-term Collaboration
One of our very successful partnerships has been with Creative Shift. This is an art support programme that aims to help people feel well and improve their well-being. Participants are referred through social prescribing, local GPs, and other organisations. During the year, 31 referrals were received, 21 members of the community attended, and 2 people are on the waiting list.
Skills Building for Young People
We aim to develop opportunities for young people to acquire new skills, build confidence, and achieve their aspirations, thereby enhancing their prospects and access to employment.
We support a programme of activities for children, young people, and families, both during term-time and the holidays. We work with others to ensure there is at least one activity per day during the week.
Over the last year, we have facilitated and/or supported 48 different types of regular community activities, including sports, dance, and creative arts. 2,439 people took part, and 265 for the first time. We supported 38 one-off sessions/events with 1,487 people attending.
In September 2023, we became the lead partner for the Hartcliffe BMX Club , which remains a firm favourite among the young. In 2024, we supported weekly sessions from April to October, regularly hosting over 20 young people.
Following the tragic incident that occurred in January 2025, we supported the �Postcode Project� , which involved local schools and youth organisations coming together to develop a programme aimed at preventing similar incidents in the future. Working alongside 25 young people who had been identified as the most vulnerable and have the potential to be involved in �gang violence�, we have been able to hear firsthand their ideologies, and by using early intervention, we�ve been able to challenge and educate the young people across both communities. The project concluded with a three-day residential, which was positively received by all.
Communications
HWCP communicates with the community and other organisations through our WHAM! Magazine, fortnightly e-news bulletin, and through social media, which can be accessed through this link: https://hwcp.org.uk/wham/.

Building
The Symes Resource Centre offers office space for organisations providing support in South Bristol, as well as meeting space for organisations and groups.
We provide space to the following tenants:
Hartcliffe Library Hawkspring, Drug & Alcohol support Next Link, Domestic Violence support NHS Dementia Partnership DHI (Developing Health & Independence), Addiction Rehabilitation Centre
Community Transport - CATT
CATT Community Transport is a vital service designed to assist residents who face challenges accessing local public transport due to mobility or health-related issues. By offering a door-to-door service, CATT helps bridge the gap for individuals who may feel isolated or disconnected from essential services and community activities.
This service not only enhances mobility but also supports social inclusion, allowing individuals to engage more fully with their community and participate in local events, maintain their independence and thereby improve their overall quality of life.
During the year we�ve had over 400 individual members and over 150 registered groups , fulfilling on average 2,000 passenger journeys every month to places such as, Community Centres, general shopping, days trips and group hires.
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity is a company limited by guarantee, and its governing documents are the Memorandum and Articles/Constitution.
The Board makes decisions about annual budgets and approves policies. The committee structure allows them to examine specific areas of responsibility. The Human Resources (HR) Committee and the Finance Committee continue to meet quarterly. The Health and Safety Committee meets twice a year. The Chair of each committee provides feedback to the board of trustees, highlighting any issues or decisions that need to be addressed. Salary reviews are conducted annually by the board; however, pay increases are not guaranteed and depend on the company�s performance.
Financial Review
HWCP�s financial position at the end of the reporting period (March 2025) remains satisfactory, as all projects are within budget, and we have an adequate level of reserves.
The trustees have implemented a reserves policy to ensure that the Charity maintains sufficient funds to continue its core activities in unpredictable circumstances, such as the withdrawal of funding or unexpected expenditure.

Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 March 2025
At 31 March 2025, we have a General Fund of £299,816 which leaves a figure of £106,843 once the wind down costs are removed.
The trustees have allocated these reserves to mitigate against the following risks: £44,000 is allocated in case our main tenant does not renew their lease.
This leaves £62,843 to allocate in the 2025-26 budgets to mitigate against increased costs and any shortfalls whilst fundraising.
Designated Funds
The trustees have reviewed our current Designated Funds in line with our future plans: £46,987 for the purchase of replacement minibuses. £22,373 for major repairs to the building.
The trustees review and replenish designated funds as needed.
Financial risks are identified by the Partnership Business Manager, who then assesses them with the finance committee, which reports to the board so that any mitigating actions can be taken.
Our Future
We will continue to develop our plans to bring our services, support, and activities together seamlessly. This will help us maximise resources, knowledge, and skills efficiently, while also creating a vibrant and responsive environment.
We will talk to the community to help us identify our priorities.
We will ensure our organisational structure is fit for purpose, enabling us to deliver our services and support in a safe, efficient, and sustainable manner.
The key to building a stable future is working on the following areas:
Continuing to develop our monitoring and evaluation framework so we can demonstrate impact, understand what works and where we need to focus our efforts;
Develop ways to support our community transport service to ensure its sustainability;
-
We will listen to the community, focusing on children and young people, as well as activities for adults, to reduce health inequalities;
-
Fundraising for our community development initiatives, as outlined in our strategic plan; and Collaborate with partners in South Bristol within all sectors to share learning and resources, enabling us to build community resilience.

Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 March 2025
Statement of responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.
Auditors
Godfrey Wilson Limited were re-appointed as auditors to the charitable company during the year and have expressed their willingness to continue in that capacity.

Independent auditors' report
To the members of
Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and the related notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor�s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC�s Ethical Standard, and the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 7 to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees�use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor�s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
8
Independent auditors' report
To the members of
Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees�report, which includes the directors�report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors�report included within the trustees�report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors�report included within the trustees�report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures of trustees� remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies�exemptions in preparing the trustees� report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees�responsibilities statement set out in the trustees�report, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity�s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
9
Independent auditors' report
To the members of
Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor�s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The procedures we carried out and the extent to which they are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below:
(1) We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, and assessed the risk of non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Throughout the audit, we remained alert to possible indications of non-compliance.
(2) We reviewed the charity�s policies and procedures in relation to:
-
Identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations, and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
Detecting and responding to the risk of fraud, and whether they were aware of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and
-
Designing and implementing internal controls to mitigate the risk of non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud.
(3) We inspected the minutes of trustee meetings.
(4) We enquired about any non-routine communication with regulators and reviewed any reports made to them.
(5) We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and assessed their compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
(6) We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected transactions or balances that may indicate a risk of material fraud or error.
-
(7) We assessed the risk of fraud through management override of controls and carried out procedures to address this risk. Our procedures included: Testing the appropriateness of journal entries;
-
Assessing judgements and accounting estimates for potential bias; Reviewing related party transactions; and Testing transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. Irregularities that arise due to fraud can be even harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2025
1. Accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership is a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. The registered office address is @symes Community Building, Symes District Centre, Peterson Avenue, Hartcliffe, Bristol, BS13 0BE.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
b) Going concern basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern. As the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £487,894 and a cash balance of £493,359, the trustees consider that the charity has sufficient cash reserves to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which these financial statements are approved.
c) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of provision of facility rental and services provided is deferred until criteria for income recognition are met.
d) Donated goods and services
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item, is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2025
1. Accounting policies (continued)
e) Interest receivable
- Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
f) Funds accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
g) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
h) Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity's activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on the basis of staff costs to activity, as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | |

1. Accounting policies (continued) k) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
l) Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charitable company has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
m) Financial instruments
The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
n) Pension costs
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charitable company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charitable company during the year.
o) Termination payments
Where an employee receives a termination payment, the cost is recognised at the date that the employee is notified.
p) Accounting estimates and key judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.
Depreciation
As described in note 1i to the financial statements, depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life.
